A moving, often provocative, and ultimately vital collection of firsthand accounts of people living through the Boko Haram conflict. From abducted girls to brash soldiers, and from community leaders to simple fishermen, this collection provides an insight into the realities of those living through the conflict, making this an essential cultural archive. The World Was in Our Hands covers themes of patriarchy, the economy, climate change, and corruption, to paint a picture that is much broader than what has been captured through news coverage.

United States Congress Versus Apartheid examines the role of the African Affairs Subcommittee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee in shaping United States foreign policy towards South Africa. This subcommittee emerged as one of the major battlegrounds where United States foreign policy towards South Africa was shaped during the Reagan-Bush era, 1981-1992 (the time-frame examined). This book demonstrates that Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush were more oriented toward strategic calculations in their formulation of United States foreign policy towards the African continent.

Many of the patients at Mother of Mercy walk for days in order to arrive at the hospital's gates. Others are carried by friends, or survive the jarring ride over dirt paths in the back of the rare pickup that exists in the Nuba Mountain region of southern Sudan. Most are victims of the war that has been waged from the air against the people of Nuba by the Sudanese government for years. All Nubans know to seek refuge in a foxhole when they hear the drone of the bombers overhead; and they all know, in the aftermath, is to bring the maimed to Dr. Tom Catena, the only surgeon for thousands of square miles.

As the unpopular regime of Cameroonian head of State Paul Biya cracks down on a popular protest by the people of the English-speaking regions of the country, the world wonders why a country that is Africa’s Number One Football (Soccer) Playing Nation, one that just won the continent’s most prestigious and most coveted sports trophy (The African Cup of Nations), and one that the powers that be would like to sell as the oasis of peace in a turbulent continent, would undermine the part of the country that realized its reunification. The area that was Südwesten Kamerun when the ...

So many well meaning scholars and a number of self appointed experts have written books, research dissertations and news articles about the Rwandan genocide. The general narrative which has been spread is that for no apparent cause, Hutu people of Rwanda cracked down on their Tutsi neighbors and killed them. But it did not happen like that. There were remote and immediate exogenous and endogenous developments, which put the two main ethnic of Rwanda on a collision course. The blood bath was the product of combined historical, economic and political factors, which spiraled into communal ...

目からウロコ！一気読み必至のアフリカ講義。アフリカと言えば、紛争、貧困、飢餓、感染症……。これらのイメージが間違っているとまでは言いませんが、アフリカの「現在」はそれらだけではありません。

An inspiring account of how the US government built a start-up development program to fight AIDS called PEPFAR, which saved more than twenty-six million lives and created a new blueprint for results-oriented American foreign aid. In 2002, more than two million Africans died of AIDS. Militaries...

Cameroon lost its way when France pacified the intellectual, dynamic and patriotic forces of the land― the people who were engaged in the cause to reunite the former German Kamerun, lead it to independence and build a modern, progressive, democratic, free and liberal state. Cameroon found itself held in bondage after that when France went on to impose a mafia system in Cameroon, a system that has always been headed by its puppets. However, it was only during the 32-year rule of the fathom and the puppet Paul Biya that Cameroon got gripped by futility, despondence and cynicism. What is the...

Le Cameroun a perdu son chemin à un avenir brillant quand la France a pacifiée les forces intellectuelles, dynamiques et patriotiques du territoire, les gens qui s'étaient engagés dans la cause pour réunir l'ancien Kamerun Allemand (qui a été partitionné après la Première Guerre Mondiale dans le Cameroun Britannique et le Cameroun Français), pour le conduire à l'indépendance et pour construire une société qui est démocratique, moderne, progressiste, libre et libérale. Après la défaite, le Cameroun a trouvé lui-même maintenu dans l'esclavage quand la France a imposé un ...

Dans ce récit magique, Janvier Tchouteu établit avec brio les fils qui ont fait du jeune Thomas Sankara l'un des leaders emblématiques de l'Afrique au XXe siècle, et les changements révolutionnaires qu'il a apportés au Burkina Faso pour le transformer en pays le plus autosuffisant en Afrique subsaharienne. L'auteur conduit le lecteur main dans la main sur la trajectoire de la catapulte du jeune Sankara dans les coulisses de la politique burkinabè, de ses exploits, de son ascension au pouvoir en tant que chef de l'Etat et de sa notion lucide de sa mission. Sankara apparaît comme l'un...

Était le partenariat entre l'armée française et l'opposition en Côte-d'Ivoire qui a abouti à la suppression de Laurent Gbagbo du pouvoir au cours de la guerre civile post-électorale, un effort pour restaurer la démocratie ou de la dernière pièce dans un plan visant à supprimer une menace pour l'infâme « La Pacte colonial» que la France a imposé à ses colonies en Afrique avant de leur accorder l'indépendance dans les années 1960? A été la suppression de Laurent Gbagbo et l'accession au pouvoir d'Alassane Ouattara un effort pour maintenir le système anachronique et ...

I meticulously outline the appalling extent to which the powerful few work behind the scenes to shamelessly plunder the resources of Nigeria. Up to eight billion dollars is lost annually to corruption, and no politician goes unexamined in this piercing review. From jungle justice to the corrupt kleptocracy that defines Nigeria’s ruling class today, I clearly give historical context to a modern but untenable problem. This important record speaks truth to power and documents the crushing consequences of political gaming.

The devil rules the world through continental arch-demons called Princes. Under these continental spirits and in loyalty to them are regional and national spirits. Under the authority of the continental Prince are National Princes that control Satan's affairs in each nation. The Satanic Prince of Cameroon is that Satanic spirit in charge of Satan's affairs in Cameroon. Thousands of us fasted for many days, drinking only water, and hundreds fasted for 34 days, drinking only water. On the 34th day of the fast, the Satanic Prince of Cameroon was bound, unseated, and overthrown.

Nigerian politicians are caught in an evil cycle, and the consequences are dire. The purpose of government should be to protect its people, but what is happening in a country where resources are so abundant yet so wasted? In this incisive look at years of corruption and project mismanagement, Dr. Darlington Akaiso clearly outlines the problems inherent in this vicious cycle.

Henning Mankell, mest kendt for sine Wallander-krimier, beretter her om sine besøg hos en række AIDS-ramte i Østafrika. Personligt, indtrængende og sobert fortæller han om de menneskelige tragedier, der gemmer sig bag det uhyrlige antal smittede og døde, som ofte efterlader sig gamle forældre og mindreårige. Mankell samarbejder med den internationale hjælpeorganisation PLAN om bogen, og alle Mankells royalties, såvel som enhver fortjeneste ved salget i det hele taget, går til PLAN's arbejde med de såkaldte "mindebøger".

Per oltre sessant'anni, Ngugi wa Thiongb ha scritto dell'Africa con indomito coraggio, affrontando domande, ponendo sfide, raccogliendo storie e provando a immaginare un futuro possibile per il suo continente. Nella sua ampia produzione letteraria, "Scrivere per la pace" rappresenta il punto più alto della sua riflessione saggistica, raccogliendo per la prima volta i testi scritti dall'autore in oltre tre decenni su una vasta area di tematiche.

En este relato mágico, Janvier T. Chando establece brillantemente los hilos que hicieron del joven Thomas Sankara uno de los líderes icónicos de África en el siglo XX, y los cambios revolucionarios que trajo a Burkina Faso que lo transformaron en el África Subsahariana más autosuficiente país. El autor lleva al lector de la mano por el camino que vio al joven Sankara catapultado en el centro de atención de la política de Burkina Faso, sus tribulaciones, su ascenso al poder como jefe de estado y su noción lúcida de su misión. Sankara aparece como uno de esos raros presidentes ...

Paul Biya, the octogenarian second president of Cameroon has been power for forty-six years (ten years as Prime Minister, which is the second highest office of the land, and thirty-six years as the President ---the highest office of the land), making him Africa's and the world's longest-serving head of state who is a non-royal. He is the caretaker of a six-decade-old system put in place by France before it allowed Cameroon to become a member of the United Nations Organization on January 01, 1960 by granting it its so-called independence, a system made up of a Cameroonian political ...

In this book articulating a national ideology for a diverse land welded together by fate and kept distinct and divided by forces sucking Cameroon dry and making it live below its potential, Cameroon’s civic-nationalism otherwise called Cameroonian union-nationalism or Kamerunism, is the national idea around which the land has sought to free itself from the shackles of colonialism and neocolonialism. The ideas and ideals are the corner stone of the effort to found the “New Cameroon”, and are formidable resources that can be tapped in realizing the economic union of Africa and the ...
